Or Hallyu Pia. Or Korean Pia, depending on who’s translating. And that’s okay, because all three translations mean the same thing. This is a Japanese magazine that serves up what’s hot in the Hallyu Wave (Korean Wave) that’s still rolling across Asia.
According to the product description on order site Pia Book, cutie patootie actor Yeo Jin Goo is on the front cover; K-Pop group ATEEZ is on the back cover. Rain has an interview in the magazine and is also part of a postcard sheet.

11/20/2019. Magic Show (魔力SHOW), run by Trendy Man Group out of Sanya, China, has invited Rain to their summit from November 29 to December 1. Unfortunate fact #1: This will be a private event.
Unfortunate fact #2: What with the language barrier and certain parts of the Magic Show site banned to folks outside of China, I cannot get a good bead on exactly what this thing is. Seems like a high-end health and beauty line, and I see where Rain has thrown his hat in the ring as far as their collagen acai drink goes. Huge thanks to Shihorain for pointing me in the right direction… *thumbs up* ^@@^ (Images source credit: mlshow.net)

5/15/2019. Some of you recall how, while Rain was filming movie Endless August and was brand ambassador to several conglomerates in China, a ban on Korean stars performing in China took effect because of political difficulties. This Arirang news report about the 2019 Asian Culture Carnival in Beijing talked about how Rain is the first Korean star invited to perform in China since the ban, and how such a high profile event could mean the ban is over. Wow… ! ^@@^

3/29/2019. Aaaah, so cute! As I understand it, this young lady — who was a fan 10 years ago when she was very young — saw Rain, took a chance, and asked him for a selfie with her. He was so friendly and polite, she was thrilled. What a lucky duck! ^@@^ (Images credit: FRESHFRANKIE @ sina weibo & @ IG)

Early this year, Rain participated in promotions galore for his most recent movie 자전차왕 엄복동 (Bicycle King Uhm Bok Dong, a.k.a. Race To Freedom: Uhm Bok Dong). Included in those promos were interviews and photo shoots for several major media outlets.
What we love about these photo shoots:
